mtg commander anthology decks Box Set previously printed in the Commander series Commander Anthology Volume II Decklists

Affinity is a cost reduction mechanic that incentivizes you to play lots of cheap artifacts

This meant that some "innovative" (read: cheating) players got the idea of building decks that had all non- Ice Age cards with all Ice Age lands

Grave Upheaval A mana value of 6 makes this an expensive reanimation effect in Commander, but Grave Upheaval can generate a lot of extra value by letting the creature attack that turn

With more card draw, you can control games with cards like Organic Extinction, play huge spells like Wake the Past, and get your big creatures and planeswalkers like Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer and Ugin, Eye of the Storms more reliably

Both started out at $15 before rising in value, though Scavenging Ooze would eventually taper off and fall below $10
